Bush Praises Troops at Annual Journalist Dinner (Reuters)
Bush Praises Troops at Annual Journalist Dinner (Reuters)05/02/2004 08:43 AM Reuters - President Bush took a break to
attend the annual White House Correspondents' Association
Dinner Saturday, but neither he nor his hosts could forget for
even a few hours about the ongoing hostilities in Iraq.
President Bush accidentally allowed to be interviewed by a real journalist
President Bush accidentally allowed to be interviewed by a real journalist06/29/2004 02:07 PM The President's handlers foolishly granted a Presidential interview
(requires RealPlayer) to a non-White House Press Corps journalist,
Carole Coleman, the Washington correspondent for RTE, the Irish public
television network. When she asked him pointed, pertinent questions,
he became upset when his stock answers failed to satisfy her. An aide
to the President later complained that Coleman had "overstepped the
bounds of politeness."
Coleman is a mainstream European journalist who has
conducted interviews with top officials from a number of countries -
her January interview with Secretary of State Colin Powell was
apparently solid enough to merit posting on the State Department's Web
site.
Unfortunately, it appears that Coleman failed to receive the memo
informing reporters that they are supposed to treat this president
with kid gloves. Instead, she confronted him as any serious journalist
would a world leader.
She asked tough questions about the mounting death toll in Iraq,
the failure of U.S. planning, and European opposition to the invasion
and occupation. And when the president offered the sort of empty and
listless "answers" that satisfy the White House press corps - at one
point, he mumbled, "My job is to do my job" - she tried to get him
focused by asking precise follow-up questions.
The president complained five times during the course of the
interview about the pointed nature of Coleman's questions and
follow-ups - "Please, please, please, for a minute, OK?" the hapless
Bush pleaded at one point, as he demanded his questioner go easy on
him.
Vidiot sez: The White House
complained later that Coleman was disrespectful and didn't ask the
"suggested question" about what Irish PM Ahern was
wearing that day.
Coleman has responded to White House criticism, noting that she
submitted her questions three
days in advance.
""WASHINGTON Richard Perle, the influential foreign policy hawk, is suing journalist Seymour Hersh over an article he wrote implying that Mr. Perle is using his position as a Pentagon adviser to benefit financially from a war to liberate Iraq.
"I intend ..."
So years ago I did a journalism course and one of the early lessons
in news reporting was just an exercise in trying to collectively
define news. It was a pretty heavily-directed effort, and I think it
had to be, because like many other things that we're so used to in our
everyday lives, it's weirdly difficult to explain to people. Anyway,
I'm cleaning up my flat and I find the definition that we came up
with on a piece of notepaper, and I'm looking at it and I'm thinking:
"This is actually quite interesting - and possibly quite useful for
people who are setting up subject-based weblogs". So here it is:
"New information of significance, interest or relevance
which affects the lives or interests of a particular group of readers
/ listeners / viewers"
It's not perfect by any means, but it gives you some places to
start when you're thinking about what to write. Know your audience,
make sure you're giving them information, and make sure that the
information is actually going to matter to them. It's not exactly
revelatory information, but I figured someone out there might find it
useful. And now I've transcribed it onto the net, it means that I can
throw away the piece of paper!

Journalist: Wikipedia is "outrageous," "repugnant" and "dangerous"
Journalist: Wikipedia is "outrageous," "repugnant" and "dangerous"08/28/2004 08:12 AM Cory Doctorow:
A Techdirt writer sent a note to Al Fasoldt, a "journalist" with the
Syracuse Post-Standard who wrote an editorial telling his readers that
Wikipedia couldn't be trusted and should be avoided ("Wikipedia is a
do-it-yourself encyclopedia, without any credentials").
Fasoldt responded with an increasingly patronizing and hysterical
series of messages in which he described Wikipedia as "outrageous,"
"repugnant" and "dangerous," insulting the Techdirt writer and
storming off in a huff.
My main problem was that he seemed to write off Wikipedia based solely
on how it was created and maintained, and not at all on the actual
content. Along with my post, I sent an email to the writer, Al
Fasoldt, giving him some additional information about Wikipedia, and
wondering why, after telling us how you can't trust any random info
online, he trusted the email from a random librarian claiming
Wikipedia was somehow untrustworthy. The ongoing discussion with Mr.
Fasoldt has been quite a lesson in watching how a journalist (a)
continues to make unsubstantiated allegations (b) seems to prefer
insulting me and putting words in my mouth to actually responding to
my points or questions and (c) sticks steadfastly to his belief that
only "experts" can be trusted with information -- and, in his case,
only experts that he chooses. Yet, somehow, we're supposed to find him
more trustworthy than a self-correcting community. Figuring he might
appreciate the views of others in his profession (you know,
"experts"), I sent him links to Dan Gillmor's article on Wikipedia and
Steve Yelvington's recent realization of the power of Wikipedia.
However, rather than actually look at that information, Mr. Fasoldt
accused me of wanting "students to trust a source that's not
trustworthy." After some back and forth of this nature, where Mr.
Fasoldt responded to my request that he do a little more research by
saying: "I'm glad you're not the publisher of a newspaper"
(apparently, his publisher lets him do no research at all) and then
telling me that anyone who wrote for Wikipedia obviously knew nothing
(his phrase was: "100 times zero is still zero"), I suggested an
experiment. I pointed to the Wikipedia page on Syracuse, NY where he
apparently lives, and suggested he change something on the page, to
make it provably, factually incorrect -- and see how long it lasted.
Rather than take me up on the experiment, or suggest an alternative,
he complained simply that the whole idea of Wikipedia was
"outrageous," "repugnant" and finally (in another email) "dangerous,"
and therefore he refused to take part in my experiment.
